Description

With most cloud storage services there is a _cost_ associated with storing photos.
Granted, the cost is low e.g $0.03 per GB (_per month_) on AWS S3 ... but it _can_ add up if you have _many_ photos e.g. 100GB is $36 per year and that would _**only increase over time**_...

So, if _instead_ of using AWS S3 we use Google Drive or Google Photos we get **15 GB** "_**Free**_":

or "_**Unlimited Free**_" (_Google Photos_):
